AGRO-MODULE (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01B49/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture, namely, to special cross-country means for agricultural crops integrated cultivation and harvesting. The agro-module for agricultural crops integrated cultivation and harvesting contains a support trolley with a longitudinal trussed spar and crosswise beams (whereon driveless wheels are mounted) and two bearing semi-frames intended for work with suspension agrotechnological equipment. In the first agro-module design version the bearing semi-frames are positioned both sides of the spar along the trolley longitudinal axis so that to enable movement along the longitudinal spar in mutually opposite directions and are designed so that to enable motion by means of a closed chain drive fitted onto two sprockets. To each strand of the drive one of the said bearing semi-frame is attached. In the middle of the semi-frames outsides there are anchors fastened consisting of a skid with two ground grousers (represented by two taper spikes on the skid ends) and a support post having mechanisms for vertical movement of the skid and its turn round the support post vertical axis. The agro-module is designed so that to enable regular stepwise movement with the help of the said chain drive and the matched system for fixation of the support position of the bearing semi-frames represented by embeddable ground grousers; the said anchors are equipped with drives and designed so that to enable correction of the agro-module possible deviations from the preset trajectory movement and passage bands change. In the first agro-module design version on the outside angles of each semi-frame there are driveless support wheels mounted; for reciprocal movement of the bearing semi-frames relative to each other each semi-frame is equipped with a rope drive consisting of two electric pulling winches with a rope; each winch is mounted on a bearing semi-frame with its rope attached to the interfacing bearing semi-frame In the middle of the semi-frames outsides there are anchors fastened consisting of a skid with two ground grousers (represented by two taper spikes on the skid ends) and a support post having mechanisms for vertical movement of the skid and its turn round the support post vertical axis. The agro-module is designed so that to enable regular stepwise movement with the help of the said rope drive and the matched system for fixation of the support position of the bearing semi-frames represented by embeddable ground grousers; the said anchors are equipped with drives and designed so that to enable correction of the agro-module possible deviations from the preset trajectory movement and passage bands change. In a particular version the ground grousers on the skids may be designed in the form of drilled-in anchors with own rotation and embedment drives.

EFFECT: ensuring enhanced efficiency of agricultural crops integrated cultivation and harvesting.
